My Stepsister in Kyoto 111 I need a power!

17 hours ago

"The exam ends! Put down your paper and pencil!"

With the voice of the teacher, everyone put down their pencils, but some of them didn't give up and tried to struggle until the end.

"Come on. Let's go to the hospital."

However, Nami didn't care about that and came to Mizuto.

"Okay."

While the exam was easy for him, Mizuto had to say that he felt quite dizzy. At the same time, he thought that he should go to sleep after he went home later. Bringing his bag, he looked at Yume and said, "I will go to the hospital first. You can go back by yourselves, right?"

"Yes." Yume nodded worriedly, then looked at Nami. "Sensei, please take care of him."

"Of course." Nami nodded, then led Mizuto to her car, bringing him to the hospital.

Nevertheless, the class became noisy once again as they wanted to know what was happening. Everyone had seen how he bled, and the remains of his blood were still on the ground before, but they didn't know much about what was happening.

Yet, how could Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina be in the mood to talk?

---

"Are you fine?"

Entering her car, Mizuto sat on the passenger seat and then nodded with a gentle smile. "Thanks, Sensei. I am fine."

"....."

Nami wished to attack him, especially when she saw how weak he was, but as expected, her maternal instinct was stronger. "Let's go to the hospital right away." While her sexual drive was strong, if she lost him, then it was meaningless.

As Nami drove her car, Mizuto also felt sleepy, so he slept right away as he knew that everything was okay.

Watching his sleeping face, Nami drove her car slower so she wouldn't wake him up, but at the same time, she wondered whether he forced himself to take an exam for her since that way, as his homeroom teacher, she could get a bonus, which made her responsible.

Nevertheless, if Mizuto knew what she was thinking, he would say that a woman really loved to overthink, which made him helpless.

Still, the trip to the hospital was quite smooth, and the doctor checked his wound, saying that everything was okay. Frankly, there was no need for any exaggeration as he only needed to rest.

The human body wasn't so weak.

As long as there was a will, everything was possible.

Still, even if there was a will, an effort was necessary, so his wound was cleaned up and disinfected before the doctor prescribed him a few medicines and told him to drink them if he didn't feel comfortable.

If he is comfortable, then that's it.

Thanking the doctor, Nami and Mizuto left.

Still, he had to say the hospital was expensive, and it was fortunate that he had insurance. At the same time, he knew that an insurance business made a lot of money, which made him think that he should get an insurance company.

Well, he had a bank, so there was no need for him to do so.

The two banks he bought were Aozora Bank and Shinsei Bank, which he combined into Mizuto Financial Group.

Yes, he directly used his name, as it was troublesome to think about a name.

However, he had to say that there were many famous banks in this country with "M" letters, such as Mitsui Bank, Mizuho Bank, and Mitsubishi Bank, so even if he used his name as his financial group, it didn't give him much of problems.

Yet, he knew that this was just the beginning, and he also wanted to do something more.

Currently, his businesses are in several sectors, but his main business is in hotels, restaurants, office buildings, railways, and a bank.

All of them generated a lot of money, especially the restaurants and railways, but then, he felt that it was far from enough. then again, he wasn't in a hurry as he could search for something that he wanted to do after his trip to Osaka.

Nevertheless, it might seem weird of him to talk about his business when he had just come out from the hospital, but he needed to think something, or else he might be seduced by Nami.

"What do you want to do after this?" Nami asked as she put his hand on his thigh, rubbing and pinching as if giving him a massage.

After coming out of the hospital, the two returned to the car, and he wanted to go home, but—

"Sensei... I am wounded."

"...that's true." Nami sighed, then asked, "Do you want to eat before you go back?"

He hesitated for a while, then shook his head. "Sorry, Sensei, I am sleepy. I think I will go back to sleep."

"It's okay."

Probably because she had tried to endure it as he had his exam, but when they met each other, her body became hotter, so she couldn't help it.

"But... I don't mind resting for a while."

Nami smiled sweetly, then said softly, "You don't need to move later. Just rest."

"...." Mizuto.

Could he even rest?

Mizuto knew that it was impossible, especially when Nami brought him to her house once again.

---

Two hours later, Mizuto returned to his house while he was helped by Nami. At this moment, he confirmed that he needed a job that could enhance his physical ability. Still, he noticed that Nami was staring at his house. "What's wrong, Sensei?"

"Nothing." Nami couldn't tell him that it wasn't the first time that she had come to his house. However, it was her first time walking into his house as most of the time, she would just pass it, looking at it from the outside, especially when she went home after school.

Still, at the same time, she should be glad that Mizuto wasn't around whenever she did that, or else he would think of her as a stalker.

Nevertheless, unlike Mizuto, who was quite exhausted, Nami's skin was moist and radiant.

The two walked side by side as she helped him walk.

"Then, Sensei, here is enough."

"Don't you want me to send you inside?"

If you send me inside, then I might die.

Mizuto rolled his eyes and didn't allow himself to show his weakness. "There is Yume inside."

"Your stepsister, huh?"

Mizuto could tell that Nami was suspicious, but it didn't matter. "Then, see you tomorrow, Sensei. I am sorry for not being able to entertain you inside."

"It's okay. I also need to go back to school, after all."

While she wanted to go inside, she knew that he needed to rest. Still, she wanted to ask about his plan during the "Golden Week," but the door was opened suddenly, and Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina were there.

"Mizuto!"

"Are you okay?"

"How is it?"

"I am fine." Mizuto wasn't sure how long he had said this, but he told them again and again.

"Sensei, thank you for taking care of him."

The three thanked Nami, and Nami told them that it was okay before she decided to leave. Nevertheless, her eyes were staring at the three girls for a while before she let out a helpless sigh, but her eyes became even more determined.

Akatsuki, who saw Nami's car left, frowned.

"What's wrong, Akatsuki?" Reina asked.

"Nothing." Was it her imagination?

Well, if it was him, Akatsuki wouldn't be surprised somehow.

Nevertheless, with the help of the three girls, Mizuto went to his room and lay on his bed before he slept directly.

Watching his sleeping face, the three girls let out a helpless sigh and didn't bother him as they knew that resting was something that he needed the most at this moment.

Still, Akatsuki and Yume sighed in relief since they knew that Mizuto was okay.

Reina stared at him in silence, and her heart was in a state that she had never felt before.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 112 Being a little brother isn't bad

17 hours ago

"Are you okay, Mizuto-kun?" Yuni asked worriedly as she looked at a gauze near his temple.

"Yes, I am okay, Yuni-san. It's just a small scratch."

Right before dinner, Mizuto had woken up, and his stomach happened to get hungry. Still, their conversation was interrupted by Yumi, who tried to feed him.

"Eat more. You need to get your energy to recover."

"I can eat by myself."

"It's faster this way. Come on. Open your mouth. Aaah..."

Mizuto stared at Yume, wondering whether she wanted to feed him, but he opened his lips and let her feed him.

Watching the intimate action between her stepson and her daughter, Yuni felt a little helpless, but she didn't stop them since she knew that her stepson was wounded. Looking at the gauze on his temple, she felt in distress and asked again how the incident could have happened.

Mizuto wasn't sure how long he had told this story, but he repeated it again.

"So... if you don't save her, then this girl...?"

"Probably, she will have heavy bleeding, concussion, broken bones, and even worse a vegetative state."

"...it's not that horrible, right?" Yuni was dumbfounded by how horrible the injury might be received by the girl.

"You can ask Yume."

Yume hesitated, then shook her head. "To be honest, I am not that clear since I had been talking with Akatsuki-san and Reina-san, but I knew that she had fallen from the stairs. Anyway, open your mouth again."

"Ahh..."

As he let her feed him, Yume smiled. While she knew that it was cruel, she didn't care much about the girl who had fallen before since if it wasn't for that girl, he wouldn't have bled so heavily earlier. It was fortunate that nothing had happened, but if something happened—

"...why did you cry so suddenly?"

"No-Nothing! I-I am fine..." Yume put down the chopsticks she used to feed him and wiped her tears, trying to hide that she was crying and scared to lose him.

"It's okay. I am okay now. You don't need to worry."

"Um..."

Yume nodded and clung to him, feeling comfort when she felt his warmth.

Yuni saw all of this, but she didn't say anything since she knew the experience of watching him bleed all over must be frightening, yet she had to say their relationship was so close. However, it didn't matter as everything ended well.

After Yume fed him, Mizuto didn't plan to linger in the living room but returned to his room to rest. Even though he was okay, he felt like he needed to rest to focus on his recovery. At the same time, he realized that Nami was evil since when he was wounded and needed energy to recover, his essence was taken and absorbed by her. Yet, he also couldn't blame her since he couldn't refuse her.

My will!

If he had a stronger will, then this wouldn't happen.

Yet, he felt like it was meaningless to blame his will. Instead, he should become stronger. He shouldn't be like Julius Caesar, who couldn't do anything and let himself be assassinated by about 40 Roman senators on the "ides of March."

If Julius Caesar was a master of martial arts and maintained his body well so he could run away while screaming all of his might as he was about to be assassinated by 40 Roman senators, would he die?

Mizuto knew that there were many jobs that could increase his physical ability, and he felt like he should take those jobs as his next job. While being a real estate tycoon was nice and all, if he died and couldn't enjoy his life, then what was the point of it?

In the end, the body was the core of everything.

As long as he had a healthy body, nothing else mattered.

So, what kind of job should he take next?

'Soldier? Pirate? Bodybuilder? Athlete?'

There were so many jobs that could enhance his physical ability, which made him hesitate about what to choose, but for one thing, he knew that he needed something that enhanced his survivability, recovery, and health.

Still, the level of his "Restauranter" job hadn't been maxed out, so he might as well think about this matter. Yet, when he was about to sleep, suddenly, the door of his room opened quietly.

"Mizuto, are you sleeping?"

He, who wanted to sleep, was speechless since he knew that Yume had sneaked into his room. Frankly, there were many who sent him a chat, asking about his situation since his incident caused panic in the school. It was rare to see someone bleed like that, after all, and many were worried. Naturally, he gave them a response and told them that he was okay, but he wanted to rest, so they better not bother him.

Yet, who would have thought that this stepsister of his would be so naughty?

Nevertheless, facing this question, he didn't bother to answer and pretended to sleep.

Yume, who didn't receive a response from Mizuto, wondered whether he had already slept. She looked at him, watching his sleeping face for a while before deciding to slip into his bed and sleep by his side.

"...what are you doing?"

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Mizuto sighed and then looked at Yume, who showed a guilty expression. "Let me sleep quietly, okay?"

"I know. I am just going to watch you. I won't do anything."

"...."

Why did it feel like you were going to do something to me?

Still, Mizuto, who was about to sleep, suddenly felt his lips kissed, which caused him to open his eyes and see Yume's awkward expression.

"I-I thought that you wanted a good night kiss."

Mizuto wondered whether it was really possible for him to sleep, but due to her kiss, his penis started to have an erection. Naturally, as they were so close, Yume could feel his erection jut out from his boxer, pressing against her raw, plump thighs.

"...." 2x

"Are you really wounded?"

"...you can say that this is a human instinct to preserve his offspring."

Mizuto had read an article that said that all living beings would try to preserve their offspring when they faced danger. They would do their best to impregnate others so that even if they died, they could leave their descendants. He didn't think that this was wrong, especially when the feeling one felt during danger, and arousal were quite similar to each other.

"Geez... let me take care of it."

Her movements were so natural that her hands slipped into his hands as she gently stroked his erection. Yet, this was normal, as she had done it many times, and it was also the reason why she wasn't so nervous and even felt eager to please him. Naturally, as she had done it many times, she was familiar with his shape, curves, and even weak points.

Wetting her hands with her spit, she used one hand to stroke his shaft and her other hand to play with her glans.

"Yu-Yume..."

Mizuto was speechless and wanted to cry somehow as his stepsister had become such a lewd woman.

"Shh... be quiet. You are sick, right? Let me handle everything."

If you know that I am sick, then why do you have to do this?

"Lay down. I will use my mouth."

Mizuto was obedient this time and lay on his back as Yume sat between his legs, stroking his erection with her hands.

"No matter how much I see it, it is so big..."

Yume licked her lips subconsciously as his tip seemed so delicious that she licked his glans so naturally.

Mizuto, who lay on his bed, was mesmerized by this scene, watching how the good girl, who was respected by many in the school, would do something like this to him. Only he knew how lewd this girl was. Still, as he watched her breasts sway from time to time as she sucked his penis, he couldn't help but ask, "Yume, use your breaths."

"...pervert."

Yume sighed, then unbuttoned her pajamas without parting her lips away from his glans, sucking it faithfully before showing her breasts clad in a pink bra.

It might be his imagination, but he felt like her breasts seemed to expand when she unbuttoned her pajamas.

Still, she knew what he wanted, so she also took off her bra, showing her perky pink nipples, then moved even closer and sandwiched his penis between her well-developed breasts.

This was a feat that was impossible to do by Akatsuki, but Akatsuki could do it easily. While Yume might not be as huge as Nami's, her size was considerable.

Frankly, there wasn't much of a feeling when she did this to him, but the visual impact and her devotion as she tried to please him wasn't something that could be described as a mere simple pleasure.

Then, soon, his erection started to tense, and she said, "It's okay. I will drink all of them." Hearing those words, there was no hesitation in him and he released everything.

With her mouth on his glans, she coughed for a moment before she drank all of his juice like it was the most delicious thing.

While Mizuto felt weird by this act, he had to say it was hot.

Still, as there was so much, some of his juice stained her face and her hair, making her appear even lewder.

Nevertheless, Yume was as calm as ever and only took a tissue on the side, wiping her face and hair. "Can you sleep now?" Still, she quickly changed her words when she saw his erection. "I guess not, huh?" She naturally took off her pants and panties, showing her innermost that was drenched by her love juice.

"Yume..." Mizuto felt so complicated as he knew that he was the one who had made this girl become such a dirty girl. Yet, why did he become even harder?

"You don't need to move. Let this big sister take care of you."

Kissing his cheek affectionately, Yume lifted her body and opened her innermost with her fingers, showing her a beautiful slit that had only been penetrated by him. It was pink, and it was like a blooming flower, yet somehow, in his eyes, it was like a living being eagerly swallowed his erection.

So, that was what she did; from the tip, she swallowed his erection slowly, which caused her to let out a lewd gasp and animal-like expression, which was full of obsession toward him.

When everything was inside her, she didn't move, only looked up, holding her cry as her body quivered before she fell on him and licked his neck. Yet, even if she had cum just a single thrust from him, it didn't mean that she was going to give up, and she kept moving her waist lewdly as she made a lewd whimper before she whispered, "As expected, I won't give up the older sister's position."

"....."

Watching how this older stepsister molested him, Mizuto swore that he was going to strengthen his physical ability further!

Still, next time, he hoped Yume would rinse her mouth.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 113 Zawa! Zawa! Zawa! Zawa!

17 hours ago

"Mizuto, are you okay?"

On the way to the school, Mizuto happened to meet Yuu.

Naturally, Yuu asked about his situation and even wanted to call him, but she didn't want to interrupt his rest, so she waited for the next day.

"Um, I am all fit now."

Hearing his energetic answer, Yuu also felt relieved, but then she noticed Yume, who was holding his hand so naturally like they were lovers. She knew that they were step-siblings, but why were they so close? However, she didn't think too much since this was almost everyday things. It wasn't a secret that his stepsister had a brother's control.

Yet, she wondered whether Mizuto would do something naughty with his stepsister.

While she knew that this wasn't something that she could control as she was nothing but a friend, and she also knew what kind of pervert he was, so she didn't let it bother her as she knew that she couldn't fall in love, and she only felt like he was doing something bad. Yet, she wondered why her heart was slightly tight for some reason.

Nevertheless, Yuu wasn't the only girl, as many girls kept coming to ask about him.

Oumae Kumiko, Hazuki Katou, Sapphire Kawashima, and even Tanaka Asuka.

Many of them asked about him, especially when the gauze on his temple was so noticeable that it made many feel distressed, especially when his expression told them not to worry. Frankly, they wanted to scold the girl who had fallen, but they knew that it was all an incident, and who could tell what was happening?

Still, Mizuto left those matters aside and then looked at Yume, who was strangely calm even if he faced so many women.

Was this the confidence of a woman who had slept with him?

Knowing that his body was conquered by her body, she was all calm.

Or because she knew the side of him that no one knew that she could appear so composed like this?

Probably the latter.

Nevertheless, even with so many things happening, the exam continued, and he didn't give up on making Yume become his little sister. It was his dream, after all, to have her call him "Onii-chan." By then, he would ask her to tie her hair in twin tails and ride her from behind.

"..."

Yume wasn't sure, but she could sense that Mizuto thought something bad about her, but she didn't hate it at all, especially when she thought about their trip to Osaka later. Yet, she would be lying if she didn't feel embarrassed about what she did last night. She knew that she was quite wild last night, yet many things happened yesterday that stimulated her desire to give him her everything. Still, as expected, from her experience yesterday, being the older sister was the greatest, and it was impossible for her to give up the older sibling position to him!

So, Yume was going to work hard to push him away from the throne of the 1st rank!

Nevertheless, knowing that he was okay, everyone sighed in relief; even the chairman and the principal also praised Nami for being an attentive and kind teacher who cared about her students, which caused her to blush in embarrassment. Yet, whatever happened, it was all good, and the exam continued without any problems. Moreover, unlike yesterday, everyone could focus clearly on this exam, knowing that their prince, the light of their hearts, and their only sole purpose to come to school was okay.

Okay, the last one might be exaggerated, but that wasn't the case, though.

While this was a private school where the tuition was high, which showed that the income of most parents in this school was high, it didn't mean all the students were happy with their families. Everyone had their own problems, but when they came to the school, watching him from a distance gave them the spirit.

After all, a good-looking person has always brought a good spirit to everyone in their surroundings.

Nevertheless, Mizuto, who was thinking of becoming stronger so he wouldn't die like Julius Caesar, had never been about those people who were unrelated to him. This might be cold and selfish, yet life was limited. If he cared about everyone in this world, how could he have time to enjoy his limited life?

While he knew that this might be wrong to say, if one wanted to enjoy their lives, they had to be selfish.

Be demanding and ask for what you want.

After all, if you didn't say anything, could someone guess what you thought inwardly?

As Mizuto demanded Yume to become his little sister, he did his best on his exam and with this spirit, he knew that it wouldn't be weird of him to get the 1st rank in the entire country.

Mizuto was spirited, fighting against every question. If there was a "Saiyan" as a job, then he might reach a "Super Saiyan" state at this moment.

Frankly, probably there should be such a job, but it was still written in [?????] and to make it appear, he knew that he needed to max out many jobs.

Yet, at this moment, he hadn't become the richest on the Earth, or even conquered this country, so he decided to wait for a while to conquer this universe.

Still, with many of his monologues, the exam ended and from now on, everyone could welcome their "Golden Week!"

"Alright, the exam ends! Put down your paper and pencil!"

"It's over!"

"Yay!"

"Wait, wait! Don't take my paper, yet!"

While many were happy, many were also desperate, but their pleas meant nothing.

Nevertheless, those things didn't have anything to do with Mizuto, Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina.

Mizuto and Yume aside, Akatsuki and Reina didn't expect that they could handle the exam perfectly, but they knew all of this was due of Mizuto, which made them grateful for the study group that he usually held.

"Are you going to Osaka tonight?"

"Isn't that too fast?"

Nevertheless, when they heard Mizuto and Yume going to Osaka tonight, they felt like it was too fast. They thought that their trip to Osaka would start tomorrow, but they didn't expect to go tonight.

"It can't be helped. I don't plan to stay too long there. I only plan to be there for two days."

There were only seven days worth of holiday for "Golden Week."

Mizuto planned to use the first and second day for his trip to Osaka, then he returned to Kyoto on the third day. By then, on the fourth day, he would bring everyone to the Ise-Shima for two days, and returned on the sixth day, and enjoyed the last day of the "Golden Week" at home.

His plan was well written and everyone agreed on it.

"So, what are you planning to do in Osaka?" Reina asked.

"Well, I want to see various properties."

"What kind?"

They knew that Mizuto was working for an investment company, making advice for an investment, but his focus was on the property, which made them curious as it was different from what they had imagined from an investment.

"There are a lot of them such as warehouses, ports, an airport, high-rise buildings, and many others."

"...there are a lot of them."

If it was someone else, they wouldn't ask this, but as it was his job, they were curious, and more importantly, they knew that if they let him go home, they wouldn't be able to meet him until the 4th day of Golden Week.

Akatsuki wondered whether it was possible to invite them to karaoke or something, so they could stay a little longer, but—

"Irido-kun, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

Mizuto turned his head and saw a cute girl standing at the entrance of his class nervously.

Did someone want to confess to him before Golden Week?

If so, then he should say sorry for this girl as she needed to spend her Golden Week in sadness.

Yet, strangely enough, why did the air suddenly become tense?

It was like, he saw "Zawa! Zawa! Zawa! Zawa!" sound effect on the class, which made him confused.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 114 Your boyfriend might misunderstand

17 hours ago

What was wrong with this tension?

When the girl at the entrance of the classroom appeared, everyone frowned and strangely in silence.

Even Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina weren't much better.

"What's wrong?" Mizuto asked quietly.

"..." Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina.

"...don't you remember her?"

"Who?"

"....."

They fell in silence for a while, but then, they thought that he might not remember much yesterday as his face was covered in blood.

Watching their silence, Mizuto felt even more confused and decided to focus his attention on the girl who wished to meet him.

He thought she was cute. Her height was about Reina, but unlike Reina, her body was slim and slender, yet she was much bigger than Akatsuki's. Still, he wouldn't say it, as Akatsuki might bite him.

Yet, there was no doubt the color of her hair attracted him the most as it was pink.

Mizuto knew that this world was different from his previous world, and it was quite normal for someone to have a unique hair and eye color.

Still, as their eyes met, the girl blushed, hesitating, before she decided to enter his classroom. When she entered, everyone was staring at her, yet she kept walking toward him.

"Is there something?" Mizuto was confused.

His confusion was clearly shown on his face, which made the girl feel a bit helpless, wondering whether she had forgotten about her. "Um.., Irido-kun, I am sorry, and thank you!" Her voice was rather loud, especially when she thanked him.

"Don't be like this. Raise your head."

Watching this girl suddenly bow his head, Mizuto became even more confused and quickly told her to stop doing this exaggerated act, but then he thought of something and asked unsurely, "...are you the girl who fell from the stairs yesterday?"

"Yes." The girl quickly smiled, seemingly happy when he remembered him.

"Sorry, the blo—" Mizuto was about to say that his eyes were covered in blood at that time, so he didn't remember well, but he was afraid that he would make this girl feel even more guilty. "Is that so? I am glad that you are fine."

"Yes, thanks to you, but if I didn't fall on you..." She started to feel guilty again, especially when she thought of his bloody face yesterday. "I... I am so sorry that I couldn't react well at that time, and I am sorry again for troubling you..." Bowing her head, she apologized to him once again.

"Raise your head. You don't need to apologize to me like this. I am fine, and you are fine. That's what's important, right?"

While Mizuto didn't mind having his girl humiliate him for a certain play, he didn't have a hobby for humiliating someone in public.

"Ah, yes, I-I am sorry."

"Now, you apologize again."

Watching his smile, she was in a daze for a moment, then while she was embarrassed, she said, "Um... if you don't mind, can I thank you by—"

"Mizuto, isn't it about time?" Yume suddenly interjected, which stunned him.

Did this girl think that she didn't notice her strange gaze toward him?

While Yume knew that she wasn't the sharpest woman out there, she could tell that if she let this girl communicate with Mizuto, then a romance might bloom between them. It wasn't like she thought he would betray her and dated this girl, especially when she knew he loved her, but this was a precaution!

Yes, that's right!

This is a precaution!

It was like one used a condom so they wouldn't make their partner pregnant.

Yume felt like it was like that. She knew how charming Mizuto was, and this girl was so damn cute!

Yume had to admit that while this girl's breasts weren't as good as hers, this girl was so loveable that she felt slightly threatened.

While Mizuto was speechless, Akatsuki nodded.

However, while he thought the girl who apologized to him was cute, he could see that this girl seemed to have a boyfriend. He slightly tilted his head and saw an effeminate boy who seemed restless when this girl was so close to him. While he didn't mind doing it with a housewife, he didn't really want to trouble someone with a boyfriend. What was the difference?

If someone asked that, he would say that they were different.

A married woman knew how to hide well, as they knew that they had betrayed their family. However, a woman with a boyfriend was different, as they could break up with their boyfriend so they could be with him.

Watching the girl's boyfriend, he was afraid that if they broke up, this boy might cause a lot of trouble on social media, slandering him that he had stolen his girlfriend or something.

While this was a small problem for him, he didn't want to be a distraction from his ambition.

So, he pretended to look at his black CasiOak watch and said, "Now that you mention it." He then looked at the girl again and apologized. "I am sorry, but I have a plan to go with my family after this, so I have to go home."

"Ah, sorry for stopping you!"

"It's okay. You don't need to apologize. You don't know, after all, but you shouldn't make your boyfriend worry, you know?"

"Boy-Boyfriend?" The girl was stunned and even confused, but as he pointed his finger, the girl turned her head and saw a familiar figure. She was startled, and the boy seemed to be awkward when she noticed him.

"Then, see you."

"Excuse us." Yume looked at the girl apologetically as she linked her arm to Mizuto.

"We'll leave first."

"Goodbye."

Akatsuki and Reina also followed.

"Ah, wa—"

The girl was stunned when she saw Yume link her arm against Mizuto, and her face became complicated. Still, when they left, the boy who had been following her quickly entered the class awkwardly. "Are you okay, Shikimimori-san?"

Hearing this question, the girl looked at the boy who had been misunderstood by Mizuto as her boyfriend.

---

"A plan with your family, eh?"

"Mizuto-kun, you are a good liar."

Mizuto looked at Akatsuki and Reina, speechless, especially Akatsuki, who smiled mischievously. "Then, what do you want me to say?"

"You should be straight. She has a boyfriend, right? Then, you shouldn't seduce her," Reina said straight away, causing Yume and Akatsuki to nod. After all, like how a guy would fall for those gentle girls, the girls would also fall for those gentle guys. If he wasn't so gentle, then the girl wouldn't fall for him, right?

Still, fortunately, the girl had a boyfriend, they thought.

Mizuto rolled his eyes since the girl only came to thank and apologize, yet they tried to exaggerate every little thing, which made him helpless. Still, when he thought about his trip to Osaka, he became spirited. "Then, we will leave first. See you after we go back, Akatsuki, Reina."

"Bye, Akatsuki-san, Reina-san." Yume also smiled and kept linking their arms, skipping slightly, feeling happy as she thought they would go on the trip to Osaka.

Watching them leave, Reina sighed and said, "Akatsuki."

"Hmm?"

"I feel a bit jealous."

"....."

Akatsuki fell in silence and looked at Reina speechlessly, wondering whether she would have another strong competitor.

Nevertheless, those things didn't matter to Yume and Mizuto since, as soon as they went home, they prepared their luggage for their trip to Osaka.

"Be careful, okay?"

"You two, Yuni-san, Dad."

"Um, tell us when you have arrived."

Unlike those who went to Osaka the night after their exam, their parents would go to Sapporo tomorrow.

"By the way, do you need me to send you a car to pick you two up tomorrow?"

Mineaki and Yuni looked at the luxurious black BMW XM that was parked in front of their house, along with a driver who was faithfully waiting, gulping, and thinking their son (stepson) seemed more amazing than they had thought.

"...can we?"

17 hours ago

After explaining to his parents that this was the car from the office, Mizuto then brought Yume to the car. "Thank you for picking us up."

"No, it's not a problem at all." The driver answered politely with a smile. "Is it the Kyoto station?"

"Yes." Mizuto nodded. "Please send us there."

"No problem."

With that conversation, the driver started to drive to the Kyoto station.

"Th-Thank you very much."

Still, as the two finished their conversation, Yume suddenly jumped in and thanked the driver.

The driver only smiled and didn't talk to Yume, but Mizuto chuckled, which made her pout.

"Why were so nervous?"

Yume looked at Mizuto with a complicated gaze and asked in a whisper, "You didn't tell me that we would be picked up by a driver on the luxury car."

"Then, do you want us to walk to the station walking?"

"...." Yume was speechless. "That's not the problem, right?" Frankly, it was normal for people in this country to walk toward the station when they wanted to travel, especially to a different city. Instead, it was uncommon for someone to have a driver to pick them up!

Still, Mizuto, who had money, didn't want to enter public transportation anymore. It wasn't that it was bad. Instead, public transportation in this country had the best service, especially those that were expensive, but as his charm got better, he was afraid that he would be molested.

Mizuto believed in human kindness, but he wouldn't underestimate human lust.

After he, who had become the richest in this country, couldn't control his lust, then what about the others?

This country might be peaceful, but if they let their guard down because of this, they would be sorry.

Those who smiled, acted gently, and were kind to others would suddenly stab you in the back without you realizing it. It was like an anglerfish that emitted a light under the darkness. When those prey thought that it was a hope, nothing but despair awaited them.

Still, Mizuto knew that he might be exaggerating, but what he wanted to say was that someone couldn't be naive, thinking that everyone's head was full of flower gardens and fluffy things.

Nevertheless, to answer Yume's question, Mizuto said, "It's not like this car is mine (lie). It is owned by the company, and this pick-up service is like a facility prepared by the company. It's like those pantries that can be used by the employee."

"...do you think that it is normal for an employee to ask a luxury car to pick them up?"

If it was someone else, they could be fooled by Mizuto, but who was Yume?

She ranked 2nd in the entire grade, just below him!

Moreover, even their parents had never been picked up by such a luxury car!

Even if they don't use public transportation, the best thing is a taxi!

"Yume... let me tell you one thing."

"Wh-What?"

"Don't think too much and just enjoy, okay?"

Pulling her closer with his arm, Yume subconsciously leaned on his shoulder, feeling a bit embarrassed as there was another inside the car, but she saw that the driver seemed to focus on the street, which made her sigh in relief. Still, she knew that he was correct. She might as well stop thinking as she was afraid that she couldn't stay calm.

Nevertheless, as they arrived at the Kyoto station, Yume felt relief as everything was normal.

The two rode on the Shinkansen to Osaka, which only took 12 minutes, and they used to talk about the car that picked them up before.

"I feel like a rich lady somehow..."

"Rich lady, don't flaunt, okay?"

"Then, how do they act?"

"They don't act. A luxury car might be like public transportation for us, so they will probably act like how we ride on the bus."

"...if you say it that way...."

So, was being picked up by a luxury car something normal for him?

Still, in the end, she decided to follow his advice by not thinking too much as they enjoyed a pudding that they bought at the station before they entered the train.

Nevertheless, as their trip was only about 12 minutes, it felt so fast somehow.

Mizuto was sure that people in the past wouldn't have imagined that they could take 12 minutes to travel from Kyoto to Osaka.

"So, this is Osaka..." Yume murmured. Unlike Kyoto, she could see how rowdy Osaka was, but then she linked her hand to him tighter as she could see the women in Osaka seemed more aggressive as they kept staring at him. Like a leopard that saw delicious prey, if she didn't show he was taken, she was sure that they would leap and bite him down!

"You haven't been here before?"

"No, no... it's my first time." Still, watching his calm expression, she felt at ease somehow.

"Then, I took your first time?"

Yume blushed and lightly hit him. "How about you? It shouldn't be your first time, right?" Watching how calm he was, she thought that he had been here before.

"No, it's my first time too. You took my first time."

"....that's kind of wrong for some reason, but I am happy regardless~!"

Yume decided to be happy and walked with him as she saw someone with a board written with his name. "Mizuto, that's..."

"That's our driver. Let's walk there."

"O-Oh!"

Nevertheless, as it wasn't her first time, Yume felt calmer than before, and unlike the previous car, the car that picked them up was much worse, which made her calm and curious about everything as she could see how lively Osaka was. Moreover, as they had arrived at seven at night, the street was still lively with people. Still, as a Kyoto person, she felt this was too rowdy and lacked elegance.

If Mizuto knew what this girl was thinking, he would roll his eyes.

"Is this where we are going to stay?"

"Um." Mizuto nodded. "Haven't you checked the internet before?"

"I did, but..." The reality and the picture were different, okay?

The place they were going to stay was Conrad Osaka, which was located on the Nakanoshima Festival Tower West.

While Mizuto didn't buy Conrad Hotels brand, he bought this building.

If there was something special about this high-rise building, it would be the tallest twin tower development in Japan, which was divided into "Festival Tower" and "Festival Tower West" and reached 200 meters from the ground.

While the "Festival Tower" is used as the headquarters of the Asahi Shimbun Company, it also includes an auditorium and tenant office, while Festival Tower West houses the luxury hotel Conrad Osaka in addition to offices, a museum, an auditorium, and shops. Moreover, the underground square also links to a subway station, forming an access network for the public.

Still, as he thought about Asahi Shimbun, Mizuto also wondered whether he should acquire this company as he felt like it wouldn't be bad to have media, a place where he could express himself and also talk in case he and his company were being slandered. It also could be used by him as a weapon to take down others as the media sometimes were even crueler than killing. Moreover, with the "Business" job, there was no need for him to worry that it would go bankrupt.

Mizuto felt like this company wasn't bad at all since not only was it the second-largest circulation newspaper in the country, but it was also the owner of TV Asahi.

While abroad, the newspapers were bankrupt, and the television started to lose their viewers as most people mostly stayed on the internet; this country was different as the newspapers and the television were still strong.

Moreover, even if the internet was strong, it didn't mean that the newspaper and the television couldn't stay alive. They only needed to take a different approach and a will to develop so they could always stay on top.

There was no doubt that it was a troublesome and cruel place, but a business was like this, right?

If you don't want to do this, then you might as well work as an employee, waiting for a salary every month.

Still, in the current economic situation, there was nothing stable except for government employees, yet even so, this job wasn't popular as it had long hours of work and limited salary.

With that said, Mizuto didn't hesitate and bought this media company as it was cheaper than he had thought.

Still, this focus should be on Yume now, especially when she was kind of nervous and excited due to their stay in this luxurious hotel.

When they arrived at the building, they were greeted by a concierge, who guided them to the hotel. Still, the entrance was luxurious, especially in the elevator hall, where there was a beautiful chandelier.

If it was other girls, there was no doubt that they would put this into their Instastory.

Unfortunately, neither Yume nor Mizuto had much of a hobby to pay attention to on social media, so they peacefully entered the hotel entrance, which was located on the 40th floor.

"...we're going to stay here?" Yume asked as she gazed over the spectacular view of the Osaka night. It was kind of overwhelming as she could overlook the entire city of Osaka from this place.

"Yes." Mizuto asked, "You don't like it?"

"No, I am fine, but... I guess I am not used to it..."

Yume wasn't like Cinderella, who somehow had the confidence to dance in the most luxurious ballroom with the prince. She knew that deep inside, she had many inferiorities, and she was also so perverted that sometimes, she wondered whether it was okay to be with him.

"It's okay. I am here. There is nothing to worry about."

Fortunately, her prince was gentle, guiding her steps so she wouldn't fall into this luxurious hotel, and because of this, she became more expressive as they walked.

"We're like Laputa."

"The building on the Laputa is old."

However, when she talked about Laputa, Mizuto somehow remembered Reina as she was a trumpeter, and he wondered whether she could play " A Morning in the Slag Ravine."

"I wonder if Reina can play " A Morning in the Slag Ravine."

Mizuto looked at Yume and thought that they thought the same thing.

Still, there was no doubt the design of the entrance hotel was amazing, and they were also greeted by an artistic statue that reminded them of Fuujin and Raijin, a god of wind and a god of lightning on Shinto.

However, even if those statues were interesting, they were more interested in their room, so when they were guided inside the entrance, they were led to the king executive corner suite.

Entering their room, they were alone, and as there were no people except him, Yume felt relaxed. Still, unlike him, who knew which room they stayed in, she knew nothing. "Can I look around?"

"Sure."

Mizuto wasn't sure how to describe this, but it was probably like how a child entered a theme park for the first time. Yume was like that, he thought.

Yes, Yume was excited!

It was her first time in a luxury hotel, and their room was so spacious! It was probably about the same size as her apartment before her mother married Mizuto's father.

Or rather, this room should be much bigger, right?

Then again, the one that made her the most excited was that it was her first time to be in such a tall building, and from their room, she could see a panoramic view of Osaka City from 200 meters above the ground!

"It should be much taller than Kyoto Tower, right?"

"Um."

Hearing his answer, she was stunned. It wasn't because of his answer but because he hugged her gently from behind, and he clearly showed his intention.

"He-Hey, we have just arrived... and I haven't taken a bath yet..."

"It's okay, isn't it?"

Mizuto put his nose against her nape and inhaled her scent. "Moreover, your scent is nice."

"Pervert~!"

Still, her resistance was minimal, and she was then drowned in the pleasure caused by her step-little brother.

"Hnh~!"

My Stepsister in Kyoto 116 A mother of two

11 hours ago

In the early morning, Mizuto woke up and went to the gym to work out, leaving Yume sleeping alone. Still, he left her a message so in case she woke up, she wouldn't be worried. Nevertheless, he felt she wouldn't wake up until later, especially with how wild they were last night.

When one's reason had fallen due to pleasure, it was impossible for them to focus on other things except the pleasure given by their partner. The feeling of sex was magical, and he did quite extreme play last night as he did her while standing with her body pressed against the window of their hotel room, facing the night scenery of Osaka city.

If it was another hotel, he might not dare to do it, but 200 meters above the ground, who could see them?

The drone could even fly above 120 meters, and it was at night. They also turned off the light, and Yume tightly held the curtain, only showing part of her face, so it was impossible for them to be seen.

Still, this might be too much for her that she even cried, so he lifted her to the bed directly, which made her more active than before.

Yet, he had to say the feeling of danger and excitement was like two sides of the same coin. It also strengthened his desire to choose a job that made him able to avoid danger.

Yes, while one might be able to stay alive due to being stabbed once, what if they were stabbed several times?

Moreover, what if they were pushed from the bridge or train station?

Unless he was a "Superman," "Super Saiyan," or could stop the time, he would be as good as dead if he met such a situation.

It was said that a 2nd-year middle school student in this country would put their student book in the breast pocket of their uniform to defend themselves from a sniper.

Knowing this, Mizuto felt like his sense of danger was much lower than the 2nd-year middle school student, which he needed to reflect upon.

Jokes aside, he had to say the women on the Osaka were so aggressive that the moment they saw him at the gym, they quickly approached him and asked him aggressively.

Still, most of the women were quite young, and he felt like they should be university students or in their mid-20s.

While he knew that he shouldn't think this, he felt like those who stayed in this hotel were mostly elderly men with their sugar babies, teaching adult knowledge before they entered society as one of the cogwheels within the workplace.

So, he decided to ignore them, pretending that he didn't hear them by wearing wireless earphones. Still, he wondered why they woke up so early at the gym. Was their sugar papa unable to satisfy them? If so, then he had to say sorry since he didn't want to comfort them at all.

Yet, watching how cute all of those young women were, Mizuto felt helpless.

At this moment, those women had their youths, and they used them to get money from their sugar papas, spend on luxury, and enjoy most of their time. Then, by the time they reach their 30s, they will start to search for a good and honest man to marry, as they were abandoned by their sugar papa, who searched for a younger woman.

Somehow, their way of life had become so cliche that he would yawn at how boring it was.

Yet, even if he said that it was boring, he had never felt the feeling of having a sugar baby, so he suddenly wondered how it felt to keep a sugar baby.

Still, those young women were so persistent that he was helpless, so in the end, he decided to do something that would make them away so he could have a quiet workout, but his eyes widened when he saw someone who didn't expect to enter the gym.

This person was also surprised, slightly panicked, yet somehow there was a trace of longing in her eyes.

"Ah, there you are."

Mizuto never hesitated.

---

"Sorry."

"No, it's okay." Shikimori Miyabi looked at the young women who were dejected on the side of the gym before staring at Mizuto. "You are so popular." Still, strangely enough, there was this strange feeling when she was quite proud when he came to her instead of those young women.

Still, by meeting him in this place, she knew she couldn't escape, especially when she didn't want to move away from him. The feeling he gave her last time was so special that when she had nothing to do, her mind had always thought of him. Unfortunately, he never contacted her, which made her resent him slightly.

Mizuto only laughed awkwardly. "So, why are you here? Are you on a trip with your family?" He decided to change the topic as he wondered whether Nami's friend, who he had a one-time before, was wealthy. Staying at this hotel wasn't cheap after all, and he felt surprised that Miyabi appeared there.

Miyabi glanced at Mizuto as she ran at the moderate speed on the treadmill, sighing, then said, "No, I am here for a job."

"Job?"

Miyabi thought for a moment and felt like there wasn't any harm in telling about her job. "I worked for Kyoto Broadcasting System. I am going to make an advertisement for this hotel."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing those words, she smiled. "It's okay. It's something natural for me to do this."

"But I have heard that the television is quite nice in the schedule, and it is quite rare for them to work during the holiday, right?"

"Well, that's true." Miyabi nodded. "The work will start after Golden Week, and I am here to study here, so when the work starts, it will be easier to manage."

Still, listening to Miyabi's talk, Mizuto didn't expect that she would be such a powerful woman who was quite influential in commercial broadcasting, especially in the Kinki area.

'But, Kyoto Broadcasting System, huh?'

If he remembered well, he should have 20% shares of this company, he thought.

Unlike TV Asahi, which he wholly owned, the Kyoto Broadcasting System was only influential within the Kinki area, so he only owned some of its shares instead of fully owning it, and he had never thought of entering the broadcasting industry before, only owning some of the shares, so his influence on the Kinki area would be more powerful since the media was a good weapon.

However, his real purpose in talking about her job was so he could distract her from asking him a question, which made him glad.

"By the way, what about you? Is Nami here?" Miyabi suddenly asked.

'As expected...'

Mizuto thought that he couldn't escape from Miyabi's question, but it didn't matter.

"No, I am here with my family." He didn't lie, right?

"Family?"

"My father just remarried, and we went out together as a new family."

"Ah, I see. That seems great." Miyabi didn't expect Mizuto to have a complex family situation, but since they took a holiday, the relationship between his new family must be good.

"Jealous?"

"No, I will go back with my family after this."

"Are you going back to Kyoto after this?"

"Yes." Miyabi nodded. "How about you, Irido-san? Are you going to stay in Osaka for a while?"

"Yes, I will be in Osaka for two days and two nights."

"I see..."

As they worked out, they talked about many things, from working out, and many others, until he decided to stop. "Then, I will leave first, Shikimori-san."

"Ah, yes, Irido-san."

Just that?

Mizuto didn't plan to do anything?

While Miyabi had thought of what they did before as just a one-time mistake, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Mizuto noticed this change of expression, and he recalled their memory of Nami's house. "Now that you mention it, how is your room, Shikimori-san?"

"My room? Well, it's quite good. I feel comfortable here."

While the hotel wasn't owned by him, the building was owned by him, so the hotel was also affected by the "Energetic" skill from his "Real Estate Developer" job, making people who stayed at this hotel more spirited. Moreover, he also used the skills of his "Hotelier" job, which made the stay at this hotel more fantastic and comfortable.

"I wonder whether it is different from my room..." Mizuto murmured.

"Then, do you want to see my room—" Miyabi quickly realized what she was about to say, but as expected, Mizuto never let go of this chance. "Is that okay, Shikimori-san?"

"...."

Miyabi stared at Mizuto for a while, and her face, which was slightly reddened due to working out, became even redder. "Um... I don't mind."

With that decision, the two walked together to Miyabi's room, and as they entered the lift, she couldn't help but say, "Irido-san..."

"Hmm?"

"I might never have said this before, but you are the first man that I have ever been with after my husband passed away in the past..."

In other words, she wanted to tell him that she wasn't someone who played around. Before she met him, she had always focused on either her work or two children, but after she met him, she kept thinking about him.

"You don't need to worry. I never misunderstood you, Shikimori-san." Mizuto moved closer, then said, "It was all my fault since I couldn't hold myself since you are so charming, Shikimori-san."

Miyabi blushed, and her stern eyes became even sterner, yet she couldn't fool him as she was just embarrassed.

"How cute~!"

He kissed her cheek so suddenly, causing her to hiss like an angry cat. "Don't kiss me so suddenly!" Still, how could this young man be so cheeky?!

Yet, she, who was much older than him, was unable to show resistance against him.

"I know." Mizuto smiled and said, "I will be patient until we arrive at your room."

Her lips trembled, but she didn't say anything and only looked away, pouting as she kept staring at the lift, wondering when it was going to arrive on her floor.

*Ding!*

As soon as they arrived, the doors of the lift were opened.

"Is it here?"

"Um."

Somehow, her steps became faster, and she opened the door of her room hurriedly, but as soon as the door was opened, she was pushed inside, and the door was closed by his foot.

"Wa-Wait, I am still sweaty!"

"It's okay. I like this scent."

"Pervert!"

Her body was hugged boldly, and as they were so close, she also tried to smell his scent, which was crisp and bright. His scent was nice, she thought. Still, soon, her chin was lifted, and their eyes met each other.

During this moment, Miyabi usually would call her children, wondering what they were doing as she was in Osaka when they were on break, but now, all she could think about was the man in front of her.

By then, there were no words as their lips pressed against each other, and once again, he slept with this mother of two.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 117 Good Morning, Osaka!

11 hours ago

"Oh~! Hmnh~! No~! No~!"

Miyabi was on all fours as she was being pounded from behind.

"Ahhn~! I can't do it anymore~! I am cumming~!"

Her hair was in disarray, stuck against her ripened charming face, and her well-shaped breasts swayed due to the collision. It wasn't moments later that her body convulsed before she fell weakly on the bed with vacant eyes. She was out of breath, and she didn't know how many times she had cum, but then, her body twitched when Mizuto pulled out his erection.

Mizuto stared at Miyabi, then put his penis closer to Miyabi's lips, which she started to lick and slurp subconsciously with her tongue.

This was the first day of Golden Week, a rare holiday for every worker in this country. It was a day for them to spend time with their family, yet she spent her time with a man who was much younger than her, doing something dirty and immoral, forgetting her children.

Still, the younger man, Mizuto, also felt complex since he came with a purpose to work, yet he spent it playing with Yume and Miyabi. Yume aside, he had to say that his meeting with Miyabi was a nice surprise. It was also why he avoided a conversation that was related to her children and Nami, so she wouldn't feel guilty for what they were about to do.

Nevertheless, as she was a single woman, this shouldn't be a problem, right?

However, he had to say that he would never have thought that this woman would be a mother of two as her body was so delicious. It also made him wonder whether her children would think their good, hard-working mother would transform into a slutty mature woman.

Stimulated by her fellatio, Mizuto knew that it was almost time, so he quickly reached for Miyabi's glasses, which she put aside on the nearby table and then helped her to wear them.

Miyabi opened her eyes and glanced at him silently with her sharp eyes, which gave him a shudder, yet she never stopped her lips, and her movement became even more intense.

"Ugh, I am coming!"

Mizuto spat his semen onto Miyabi's beautiful face.

Whether it was dark pink hair, delicate nose, soft cheeks, full lips, or glasses covered in his semen, she never stopped and kept licking his penis, which made him afraid that he might never be able to focus on his work.

---

Fortunately, whether it was his will, skill, or physical ability was strong, Mizuto was able to go back after an hour, leaving Miyabi to rest in her hotel room. Still, before he left, he also contacted his subordinates to help him manage Miyabi's room, as she needed to rest more.

The check-out time for this hotel was 12 at noon; while he knew that Miyabi should have had enough rest by then, it wouldn't hurt to prepare in case she might wake up late.

While Mizuto knew that Miyabi didn't seem to have trouble with money, especially when she was working at the television station, it didn't mean that she could spend her money like it was water.

A single night in this hotel was around 50,000 yen or more than 330 dollars.

Moreover, according to his guests, her income should be around 700,000 yen to 900,000 yen, which meant a single night took a considerable amount of her income.

While she might not mind spending that money, it felt like he was a gigolo if he did that, which damaged his pride as a man somehow. In this country, people might deify a gigolo and a man who relied on their women for income, yet he disdained them since there was no pride or whatever in such a role.

The strong got everything, and the weak could only rely on a trick.

Mizuto swore to become the strongest.

Returning to his room, he saw that Yume was still sleeping, so he went to the bathroom to take a bath, full of sweat and the scent of a mature woman. As the cold water poured over his body, the memory of the hot sex he had with Miyabi still lingered until he heard Yume's voice.

"Mizuto?"

"I am in the bathroom."

Quickly, he erased his dirty thoughts and thought that Yume would join him, but no matter how long he waited, she didn't appear. Confused, he didn't think too much and just continued to take a bath, then lay on the bath while singing "Kana Nishino - Wishing." When the song finished, he changed into another song as he finished his bath. Still, when he walked into the room, he stopped the moment she saw him; she quickly hid her face like an ostrich under the blanket while her plump buttocks stuck out.

His expression became subtle before he looked at the little Mizuto, who was as excited as ever.

While it was true that he could be hurt and bleeding due to the "Stamina" skill from the "Lover" job, his stamina was strong, and he was always full of energy, so once again, even if he just finished his work out and slept with Miyabi, he didn't feel exhausted and could do more.

Yet, he noticed something strange about Yume, so he didn't do anything rough and approached her calmly, sitting near her, and asked, "What's wrong?" Nevertheless, his hand gently rubbed her buttocks, causing her body to be shaken, and she looked away while pouting.

"Are you angry?"

Yume remained in silence.

"Sorry, if you don't want to, I won't do it."

"...um."

The reason for her anger was simple. It was because he did her from behind while facing the stunning city and river views of Osaka city. At that time, she was both scared and excited, which was so scary!

She didn't want to do something like that again, and hearing his apology, she was glad and sighed in relief.

"Still, since I won't do that, can we do it in bed now?"

"...."

Yume wondered whether Mizuto really felt sorry.

---

After Mizuto took his second bath with Yume, they went to the restaurant to have breakfast. They might have gone a little bit late when they arrived at the restaurant, but fortunately, the breakfast time hadn't ended.

Last night, they ate in their room by calling a service room. Nevertheless, all of those foods had been consumed to fuel their energy for their tough activity last night and this morning.

Mizuto was even more so, and he chose a lot of foods.

Still, as they came quite late, there weren't many people, and they sat on the edge, side by side, talking quietly.

"Is that okonomiyaki?" Yume asked as she looked at his food with a strange expression. Unlike him, who chose a strange menu, she chose an omelet, fruits, and salads like a rich lady.

"It's Okonomiyaki Benedict With Wabisuke Cage-Fre Egg, Osaka Hermes Sauce, and Pickled Ginger Tempura."

Osaka's specialty food was okonomiyaki, Japanese teppanyaki, a savory pancake dish consisting of wheat flour batter and other ingredients cooked on a teppan.

Naturally, as he was in Osaka, he was going to try this luxurious, strange menu.

Yet, he had to say, it felt weird to eat this type of food in the morning. However, as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." As he was in Osaka, he would try to eat like the Osaka people.

"...is it good?" Yume wondered whether it was good to eat something so heavy in the morning.

"Try it." Mizuto fed Yume, which she directly chomped happily on. "Is it good?"

"Um." Yume nodded. "Try my omelet. It's nice."

Mizuto tried the omelet, and as expected, it tasted nice. He knew that the "Delicious" skill from his "Restaurateur" job was working for this hotel.

Still, as they enjoyed their breakfast, Yume asked him a question. "Is this hotel owned by your company?" She had always wanted to ask this question, but she didn't have time since her mouth had always been full of him.

"Hmm... yes, and no."

"What do you mean?"

"While this building is owned by my company, the hotel isn't, but at the same time, we also own this hotel. If I have to say..." Mizuto thought for a moment and said, "It's like we work on this hotel together with the brand owner."

"Wait, wait! Try to explain it slowly for me..."

This information was a bit too much for a high school girl like her.

"Yes, these twin buildings are owned by our company." Mizuto pointed at the ground and the opposite building.

"Oh..." Yume, who had calmed down, nodded.

"As for this hotel... before that, let me explain how a hotel business works."

"Okay."

There are three ways a hotel chain operates.

"One is a franchise, which most of the big hotel chains prefer. The hotel is managed and operated by the building owner. However, brands do conduct regular audits in order to keep a check on the standards and facilities provided.

"Second is an owned property, but this is rare, as you should know how expensive a property is."

Hearing his explanation, Yume nodded since she knew the price of a house wasn't cheap. "Then, this one is..."

"This one is the third method, which is managed property. It is also the model that is used by this hotel. This hotel and building might be owned by our company, but we, as the owner, don't interfere with the management and operation as it is managed by the owner of the brand hotel, but we get more money as it is profit-sharing."

The third model might be risky if it was a new hotel, but Conrad Hotel was a famous luxury brand, and along with the skills of his jobs, there was no doubt that this hotel would be in a rave.

"I see..." Yume nodded and said, "There are certainly a lot of ways to make money from a building." If it was before, she might not have thought much about a building. When she saw a tall building, she would say, "Wow," then that's it, but as it was related to his job, she realized that not only through office leasing, there was also a hotel, auditorium, shops, and many others, which were quite interesting as his explanation was easy to learn.

Still, Mizuto had to say it was hard to say "our" instead of "my" all the time.

"But this building is popular since it is also the headquarters of Asahi Shimbun, right?"

Yume was familiar with Asahi Shimbun, the second largest circulation of newspapers in this country, as her stepfather and her father often read this newspaper. Oh, even her mother, too, sometimes.

It might be weird why many people in this country read a newspaper, but the news in the newspaper is a good way to start topics to converse with the clients when they work.

"Oh, that newspaper is also owned by our company." Mizuto ate his Warm Pie with Tanegashima Anno Sweet Potato Sabayon with Free Range Egg Wabisuke and said, "We finished the acquirement process last night."

"..."

Yume thought that Mizuto was as amazing as ever.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 118 Cold coffee is bitter

Yesterday

While talking about his work was interesting, Mizuto was too lazy to talk about it, and he was more interested in the variety of breakfasts prepared by this hotel.

Creamy Truffle Scramble Eggs Free Range Egg Wabisuke, Grilled Butter Foccacia, Mascarpone, Morning Noodles, Fresh Italian Breads, Italian Desserts, and many others.

While Yume's stomach might not be able to eat all of them, she could take a bite from Mizuto's plates.

Still, as they had breakfast, his smartphone kept ringing, and many tried to contact him, yet he ignored it. Yume was the same as when she received a chat from their parents, Akatsuki and Reina.

"Have they arrived at the airport?"

"Um." Yume nodded and showed her smartphone. "They took a photo."

While drinking mineral water, Mizuto tilted his head slightly and saw a picture of his father and Yuni from Yume's smartphone, which his stepmother uploaded on their LINE group.

Yes, due to his initiative, they made a LINE group consisting of their new family.

If it was a normal family in this country, such a thing definitely wouldn't be done as most families in this country were quite traditional, or maybe some might do it, but there was no doubt that it was a good thing as they could easily tell each other when they were late, or they were on a trip like this.

In the beginning, his father was quite awkward, or rather, whether it was Yuni or Mineaki, neither of them had a LINE as most of the users were young people, but there was no doubt it was the most popular social media as it was backed up by Softbank.

As for Yume?

She didn't have it at the beginning of the school, but due to her relationship with him, she has this social media now. Naturally, she only shared it with those who were close, and she didn't even join a group in the class as it was noisy. Moreover, there was no doubt the boys would try to contact her the moment they knew her LINE ID, which was something she liked to avoid.

Similarly, Mizuto also didn't join the group class as he felt it was unnecessary, and he didn't want to be contacted by random girls. However, he felt this family group was necessary, even though he didn't join the conversation that much. Still, he felt a bit speechless when his father started to use a strange sticker on the group.

Mineaki: (Vegeta falls, has blood from the corner of his mouth, and is defeated) sticker.

"....." Mizuto.

Nevertheless, it was good that everyone was having fun.

Still, Yuni and Yume were very active in the group, as they shared photos of each other.

Yuni: "How nice~! How nice~!"

Yuni got jealous when Yume shared photos of various foods and their hotel room, which hadn't been dirty by their lewd actions.

Yuni: (A rabbit squats on the ground and creates a circle depressively).

Yuni: "By the way, where is Mizuto? Mizuto-kun? Give us his photo!"

Yume didn't say much and took a picture of him, who was eating an apple in a relaxed manner. Staring at his photo for a while, she felt reluctant to upload this photo, but then, under the urging of her mother, she uploaded his photo.

Yuni: "Oh! It's Mizuto-kun eating fruit!"

"..."

Mizuto was silent and wondered whether he was being treated as a rare panda who was eating bamboo for some reason.

Yuni: "How about you two take a picture together? I want to see it!"

"Mizuto..."

Mizuto glanced at Yume and moved closer, even pressing their cheeks together. "Hurry up and take a picture."

"....."

Yume wanted to say many things, but if they took a picture like this, they would be like a couple instead of a stepsibling; as she thought about her mother's words, she decided to take this selfie boldly, yet somehow, he turned his head and kissed her cheek intimately.

"....." Yume.

"It's a good photo." Mizuto nodded.

"...but we can't send this." Yume kept this photo, then glared at him, trying to hide her shyness.

"Then, take a photo again." Mizuto only smiled, causing her to kiss his cheek as she took a selfie before she took another, which was a proper photo that could be sent to their parents. Yet, when they were so close like this, it was hard for one not to think that they were lovers. Still, compared to their cheek kisses, it was much better.

Then, when Yume uploaded the photo, she asked, "Do you think they will think that we're lovers?"

"Do you want us not to be seen as lovers by our parents?" Mizuto asked.

Yume didn't answer his question immediately after hearing this question. If it was before, she felt like hiding this relationship was better as she wished for her mother's happiness. However, she had gotten her mother's permission, and she knew there weren't any problems for them to announce their relationship. Moreover, she felt that if they announced their relationship, no one would approach him again.

Yume knew that she was being selfish, but she felt there was nothing wrong since they had become one, and she wished him for only herself.

So—

"No." Yume shook her head and said, "I... I want us to be seen as a couple!" Her heart was tightened, and she was quite nervous, but as expected, she was glad that she could say all of this.

Yet, Mizuto fell in silence, thinking for a moment, realizing that he wasn't as excited as he thought to be. It made him feel sorry for Yume, and he knew that he was incapable of falling in love with someone else.

"Mizuto...?"

Mizuto was startled and realized that he had been silent for a while, which caused her eyes to turn red. While he couldn't read their mind, he knew that she thought that he wouldn't like it if someone knew about their relationship. "What's wrong? Why did you cry?"

"...you don't want us to be seen as a couple?" Yume wondered whether her feelings had troubled him, but she knew in this relationship, she was the one who had a stronger feeling, and she just didn't want anyone to have him.

"No." Mizuto shook his head and said, "I think that it should be okay to let our parents know about our relationship, but I am just afraid that they might try to peek at our room when we..." As expected of him, he thought. After all, he could lie as smooth as he breathed.

"....."

Hearing his concern, Yume blushed, but she also understood his concern. By announcing their relationship, there was no doubt that they would be seen as a couple, and their parents naturally would think something dirty about them, especially when they were in their youth, and their desires in that area were strong!

If somehow their parents peeked at their room, then... Yume could imagine that she would die at that time.

"...then, what do you think?"

Mizuto could see her gaze was serious, and he knew she wanted to know what he wanted to do with their relationship. He thought for a moment for an answer, and said, "I think we can announce our relationship."

"But didn't you say that they might—"

"No, I mean announce our relationship to those who are close to us."

"You mean... like Akatsuki and Reina?"

Hearing his answer, Mizuto could see that Yume was so happy. "If you can trust them."

"I trust them!" Yume nodded eagerly and felt happy with his decision. Instead of announcing their relationship to their parents, she was more eager to announce this relationship to Reina and Akatsuki.

"As for our parents, if they ask, then just tell them the truth, but if they don't ask, then there is no need for us to tell everything."

"Okay~!" Yume nodded and agreed with his decision since, truth be told, she also wasn't ready to talk about their relationship with their parents, especially with what they did every day.

Watching how excited she was as she continued to chat with their parents on the group chat, Mizuto didn't say anything and just sipped his cold coffee silently.

'It's so bitter.'

My Stepsister in Kyoto 119 It seems... I have become a real estate tycoon...

2 hours ago

"Are you sure that you are not coming?" Mizuto asked in surprise.

"Um." Yume nodded obediently. "I won't bother you working. I know that you are working hard, so do your best." She kissed his cheek affectionately and then looked at him with a gentle smile. At that moment, she was like a loving housewife who sent her husband to work.

"Is that so?"

Either way, Mizuto didn't mind, but if he was alone, he could be faster since there was no need for him to pay attention to Yume during his work.

"But this is your working clothes?" Yume looked at him from up to the bottom. Usually, the standard uniform of every workforce was a suit, but Mizuto was different. He was wearing denim, a flannel shirt, boots, and a leather backpack. She had to say this style made him so manly and rugged, causing her to blush, which made her wish to be held by him.

Usually, he was elegant, yet now, he showed his fierce side.

Subconsciously, she took her phone and took a picture of him.

"....."

Mizuto fell in silence, took a deep breath, then said calmly, "Most of my work is outdoors. Wearing a suit is troublesome and hot. Anyway, I will try to go back as soon as possible." Pulling Yume closer, he kissed her cheek affectionately. "I will go back as soon as possible."

Yume was stunned and melted in his arms, then kissed his lips. "Um, do your best."

"If you want, you can take a spa here. All the service here is free."

"...." Yume had to say it felt a bit hard for her to get used to the luxury lifestyle.

Nevertheless, the moment Mizuto left, there was no distraction on his mind, and he gave his everything to his work. Driving a motorcycle by himself, he visited various places, from the various warehouses in Osaka, the Port of Osaka, Kansai International Airport, and even many high-rise buildings in Osaka.

As he visited those places, he realized that many things happened in a single place. In a place that no one expected, a transaction of many items happened, especially at the Port of Osaka; Mizuto saw many things, from oil, gas, coffee beans, grains, cotton, iron ore, fruits, fish, cars, and even many manufacturing items.

With everything that he had seen, he realized how small his existence and business was.

"As expected of Osaka, huh?"

Mizuto was glad that he had come to Osaka since this liveliness was impossible to see in Kyoto, where everyone still clung to the tradition, but it didn't mean that it was bad since everyone had their own way of staying alive.

If Kyoto lost its traditional image, then it might cause the bankruptcy of many people as many people relied on this image for a living.

Nevertheless, Mizuto knew that the amount of money that happened in Osaka was much, much bigger than Kyoto.

'If it's like this with Osaka, then how about Tokyo?'

Osaka had only 2.6 million people, but Tokyo had a total of 9.3 million people.

Mizuto felt like he needed to visit Tokyo in the future.

'Well, I should go to Tokyo soon.'

Nevertheless, as he was standing at the observatory area of Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan until Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower was built, watching Osaka City from his position, he thought about all the business he had acquired.

If he had to explain from the beginning, it started with all the high-rise buildings that he had acquired in this country from the time he got his system until he came to Osaka. From the "Dipper," the "Otemachi Tower," the "Nakanoshima Festival Tower," and many others, which gave the total amount of his high-rise buildings was about five billion dollars, or 737.9 billion yen.

The income from those assets was only so-so as it was mostly gained from office leasing, but with the quality of his building, the location, and many effects from his job skills, there was no need for him to worry about losing money as everything was stable.

Still, if he wanted to, he could create a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), something similar to an IPO or a way where a normal company gained money from a stock market. By selling a few percent of his total assets' shares, he could get more money.

Yet, he didn't need that; he thought that money was the only thing that he never lacked.

Besides the high-rise buildings, he also bought a bank. The two banks were Shinsei Bank and Aozora Bank, which he combined into one, the Mizuto Bank.

Probably, many thought that he should make his own bank, but it was troublesome to make a bank, and it wasn't easy to gain permission to build it. More importantly, those "Zaibatsu," or conglomerates, wouldn't allow a new competitor to grow, so the only way for one to get a bank was to acquire one that was exited.

It was impossible for him to acquire a great bank like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group or Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group as he didn't have much money, so he acquired money center banks or large banks situated in economic hubs.

With those two banks that he acquired, he knew that it was only a time before his bank grew into a megabank, like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group or Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.

As he acquired a bank, Mizuto gained a heart for his business kingdom, so what he should do now was to grow limbs.

Now, after high-rise buildings and banks, he also got hotels.

The two hotels were the Aman Resorts, a famous luxury resort, and also the Prince Hotels, a deluxe hotel. The amount of money generated from a hotel might not be much, but it worked well for his "Real Estate Developer" as with resorts, he could increase the value of certain land that he had bought.

Still, due to his acquisition of Prince Hotels, he also acquired the parent company of this hotel, which was Seibu Holdings.

In this company, there were many subordinate companies from Seibu Railway, a major passenger railway; Seibu Lions, a professional baseball club located in Saitama; Yokohama Hakkeijima, amusement park, and aquarium groups; and many countless other companies (check Wiki, please).

Mizuto knew that with all of those things, he had become a real estate tycoon.

Still, he knew that this wasn't enough, and he tried to extend his roots into the food industry.

Due to all the industries that he had acquired from hotels, railways, a baseball club, aquariums, and even an amusement park, food was indispensable, or rather; people would always buy food when they came to such a place, so he chose "Restaurateur" as his next job."

While it might be strange, Mizuto knew that many people underestimated the food industry. Watching people set up a stall, food truck, or even a food stall on the festival, they felt like it was a lower job, and it was much better to work in the office as a salaryman, yet he didn't think so since the amount of money generated from the food industry was crazy.

If he gave an example, every day, there would be at least 50,000 boxes of lunch sold on his railway companies. If the average price of the lunch box was about 800 yen, then he would get 40 million yen every day, 1.2 billion yen every month, then 14.4 billion yen or 97.5 million USD, or almost 100 million USD every year!

This was only his railway, and due to his "Restaurateur" job, which made the taste of the lunch box more delicious, it had always been sold out every day.

Due to this, he also acquired famous restaurants in this country, such as McDonald's (Only in Japan), KFC (Only in Japan), Matsuya (a famous chain gyudon restaurant), Saizeriya (a famous family-style Italian chain restaurant), Blue Bottle (a chain coffee shop), Gyu-Kaku (a chain yakiniku restaurant), and House Foods Group (a manufacturer of Japanese curry and own a Japanese curry chain restaurant).

The technology and internet industry might be good, but the amount of cash generated from his restaurants was crazy. It was like a waterfall; they kept pouring out and never stopped. Moreover, there was no need for him to burn money to defeat his competitor, as in the food industry, the most important thing was how delicious it was.

With the skills from the "Restaurateur" job, was there any competitor that could make food more delicious than him?

Mizuto knew that he could acquire more restaurants, but he held it for a while, trying to catch a breath since the bigger his kingdom was, the more troublesome it was to manage. If there weren't the "Merchant" and "Businessman" jobs, they would be troublesome to manage.

Still, with his trip to Osaka, he knew that his decision to acquire the warehouse was correct, so while staring at the scenery of this city from the tallest building, he acquired many vital warehouses in this country and even overseas, officially turned himself into a "King of Warehouse."

Oh, he almost forgot that he also had acquired the Asahi Shimbun and Asahi TV, which made him also a media conglomerate in this country.

Sighing, he looked at his Rolex Explorer watch and saw that it was already three in the evening. He hadn't taken a break or lunch as he was focused on his job, so he thought to have lunch. Moreover, staying in this place any longer was quite annoying since the number of people who came to approach him never stopped.

'Are they ants?'

All the women and even some men tried to approach him like a group of ants that were attracted by sugar.

While he was helpless, fortunately, he wasn't famous.

'If I become more famous...'

Mizuto could imagine that it would be a catastrophe, and it was also fortunate the camera in this country would make a sound when it took a picture, considering many tried to take a sneak photo of him. There were even some who wished to trouble him to force him into a strange job, so he used the "Brainwash" skill to manipulate those people to swim on Osaka Bay so they could clear up their minds.

What if they couldn't swim?

It didn't matter, as he didn't feel anything about those who had troubled him.

Mizuto knew that the reason why people couldn't kill others was because of the law and education that they had received from childhood, but in the primitive era, it was natural for people to kill each other. It was like an animal who tried to rob each other's territory. If they wanted to live, it was natural for them to kill each other.

The law of nature was like this: the strong got everything.

In the modern world, this might be unacceptable, but he had the system anyway, so there wouldn't be any people who knew what he did.

Or maybe he was just trying to release his irritation of that trash of society.

Still, he knew that he didn't think anything was wrong since those people must have harmed many innocent people, and their meeting with him was akin to karma for them.

Mizuto knew that his mood was kind of strange, especially after his conversation with Yume during their breakfast, but he knew that he had done the correct things. It was something that he had to do, and according to moral standards, he should have done this from the beginning. Yet, somehow, he felt like it was also wrong as it didn't fit with what he wanted to do.

Yet, he also felt strange as he could erase the trash of society like he killed a cockroach, but he was still troubled by his relationship with many women. While he wasn't sure whether it was good or not, he knew that the reason why he felt this was because he had thought of them as important people, and it was why he felt uncomfortable when he knew that he had hurt them.

Signing, he felt hungry, which made him helpless, thinking no matter how one felt, they still needed to eat, so he decided to eat something first as his hunger was so unbearable.

Riding his motorcycle again, he parked it and then searched for the most popular okonomiyaki restaurant, which was located in a hidden and difficult-to-get location in the Umeda District.

Parking his motorcycle, he walked, following the direction led by the GPS to the local neighborhood until someone called him out.

"Are you looking for something?"

Hearing a cute Osaka dialect, Mizuto turned his head and knew that his heart was so despicable as the sight of a beautiful woman was able to cure his troubled heart.

My Stepsister in Kyoto 120 Osaka girl is weird

2 hours ago

'Hostess?'

Mizuto couldn't help but think so as the woman wore a gorgeous dress and styled her hair carefully.

In this country, if a woman wanted to live well and get a lot of money, their only way was to take a job in the night industry. Still, the night industry didn't mean prostitution or women had to sell their bodies. Instead, they could choose a job known as a "hostess," a female companion for drinking.

In another country, this job might be frowned upon, but in this country, strangely, it was respected.

Mizuto wasn't sure of the reason, though.

Was it a tradition?

Nevertheless, the amount of money that one could get from this job was enormous, and it was much safer than selling one's body as there was no need for them to be afraid of being caught by strange diseases.

Mizuto thought that this young woman had such a job, considering her attire and all, and she should be on her way home, but well, he didn't have any prejudice against anyone who worked on this job as he knew that living in this country was hard.

Unless they wanted to work for the company, were sexually harassed, worked until so late, or spent their day from morning to night on the job with a small income, then this was the only way for them to live.

By using their charm, deceiving those lustful men, and getting all of their money.

Or, maybe they just wanted to give a momentary happiness to those men who had been working hard.

Nevertheless, what this woman did was nothing to him as they were strangers.

Still, as Mizuto thought about this woman's job, the woman also stared at him in a daze as it was her first time to see someone so handsome. Naturally, he recovered first, then asked, "I am looking for an Ichiban Boshi restaurant." Nevertheless, he had to say this woman was beautiful.

She has large light brown eyes and visible upper lashes. She also sports violet hair that extends to her shoulders in waves with bangs parted in the middle, which she styles carefully.

If Mizuto had to be brutally honest, she was the most beautiful woman that he had seen in Osaka.

Hearing his answer, the young woman was surprised and then asked in doubt. "You are not a local here, right? I have never seen you around here."

"...is that a problem?" Mizuto felt confused as to why this woman suddenly asked whether he was a local or not.

"Of course! That restaurant is the most delicious okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka! Only the locals know! We even asked the owner not to promote it on the internet and even rejected all of those television program interviews or pushed all internet food celebrities to be away, so the restaurant won't be packed and can only be eaten by the locals!"

"....."

Mizuto fell in silence since this woman suddenly got excited.

Was the food of this restaurant so delicious that it made all the locals so aggressive?

Was this restaurant really selling food instead of drugs?

"How did you know about this restaurant?" The woman asked suspiciously.

Why did it feel like he was a criminal for knowing this restaurant?

Nevertheless, he answered her question. "...friend."

The woman somehow scratched her hair and then let out a helpless sigh. "I know that you must be coming from far away, but you might be killed by the locals if you go there alone."

"...it isn't so serious, right?

Mizuto felt that this woman tried to exaggerate a small thing.

"Geez... this is why you, who isn't a local, is..." The woman sighed, then said, "It can't be helped. I will guide you there. If I am there, you will be safe."

"...."

Mizuto wondered whether this was a new way to pick up as he had been picked up by so many women earlier. Many of them had a variety of tricks, yet it was his first time to see this type of trick, or... was it his misunderstanding?

Either way, he didn't think this woman would harm him, or even if she tried to harm him, he didn't think she could harm him, considering his power and all. "Thank you."

"No problem." The woman shook her head and said, "Come on. Follow me."

"I will treat you later."

"Eh? Is that okay?" The woman was surprised.

"Well, just think of this as my thanks for protecting me."

Hearing his words, she laughed and asked, "Where did you come from? Tokyo?" Considering how good-looking he was and how polite his language was, she thought that he came from Tokyo.

"No, I am from Kyoto."

"Huh? Really? Why didn't you use a dialect?" The woman was more surprised than he had thought. Yet, this was also normal since those who weren't locals thought that every person who lived in Kyoto would talk in the Kyoto dialect, but that wasn't the truth as there were many who used a standard Japanese language in Kyoto.

Whether it was him or Yume, they rarely used a Kyoto dialect, which was different from their acquaintances, but using the standard Japanese language, which was more comfortable.

Still, to answer her question, he asked, "Do all Osaka people use the Osaka dialect?"

"...if you say it that way... not all Osaka seems to use a dialect..." The woman was shocked, then nodded, realizing that not every Osaka person would talk in dialect.

"Are you on your way home after work?" Mizuto asked curiously, and he had to say this woman was so expressive.

"No, I am not on my way home, and I am not working yet as I am still a high school student."

When she said those words, her eyes were dead and helpless.

"...sorry."

Was this woman a high school student?

Mizuto was speechless, but he also knew that some people seemed older than they appeared to be.

"It's okay. I haven't gotten used to being mistaken as I am older than I appear to be." The woman shook her head, telling him not to worry. Still, she was also curious about him, so she asked, "How about you? Are you on a business trip or something?"

"No, like you, I am also a high school student. I am on a trip here." Mizuto didn't think that it was necessary to tell that he was working for this high school girl who appeared older than her actual age.

Still, he wondered whether this was her way of paying back for his comment that she appeared older.

"Huh? Really? Are you also a high school student?"

"Yes."

"What grade?"

"...1st year." Mizuto felt like he was facing a delinquent somehow.

"We're the same!"

Somehow, he could see this girl was so happy for some reason. Was she so happy that she found someone who was the same age yet appeared older than their actual age?

How innocent.

"My name is Mizuto Irido. What's yours?"

"Yoshino Somei. Nice to meet you."

Like most Osakas, Yoshino was proactive and talkative.

Mizuto also talked with her about many things and fixed her misunderstanding about people in Kyoto; rather, she seemed to ask him whether he knew someone.

"Do you know Akashigata Tsubaki?"

"Akashigata Tsubaki?" Mizuto knew someone with an "Akishigata" surname, but he didn't know anyone by the name of Akashigata Tsubaki. While he had to admit the "Akishigata" surname might be rare, there were still few who had such a surname. "No, I don't know. Is this person your friend?"

"No, she is... my cousin."

Watching her troubled expression, Mizuto decided to change the topic. "...is that the restaurant?" While he had said that he wanted to change the topic, the appearance of the restaurant that sold the most delicious okonomiyaki troubled him as it was like a shady establishment instead of a restaurant.

"Yeah." Yoshino nodded quickly after she fixed her mood. "Let's go, Mizuto!" Somehow, she pulled his hand and led him into the restaurant.

Mizuto was helpless and even in doubt as he saw the run-down restaurant in front of him. Watching Yoshino, he started to wonder whether this was a scam where he was led into some establishment and asked to order food and drink before he was charged an extremely expensive bill, which led him into a debt where he was forced to do something he didn't want to.

Still, he decided to trust Yoshino more, especially after they had talked for quite a while.

Moreover, he didn't fear anything, especially when he had bought many weapons, even an AK-47, from the "Store" skill, which he kept in his inventory. If the situation was called, he just needed to take the weapons out. Still, even if he didn't use a firearm, he could use the "Brainwash" skill, though.

Lastly, he had to say the girls of Osaka were too proactive, right?

After all, it had only been a while since they met, yet she started to call him by his given name.

"Obaa-chan! I am here!"

"Oh? Yoshino-chan?"

The normal old lady didn't seem surprised to see Yoshino, but she was dumbfounded when she saw Mizuto.

Or rather, not only the old lady but all the people who stayed in the restaurant were dumbfounded when they saw Yoshino come with Mizuto.

Yet, Mizuto was confused.

What was happening?

He, who knew nothing, wondered what was happening and what this strange tension was.

He looked at Yoshino and wondered about this girl's identity.
